Brief Answer: Not pregnant. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. Since her two pregnancy tests are negative the pregnancy is ruled out. Also you had sex during the infertile tie of her cycle. The comparatively lighter period that she is having can be due to stress; anxiety; hormonal changes; changes in diet exercise and environent. This is not suggestive of pregnancy. So you need not worry. Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have. Wishing you good health. Regards.
